There is a bit of a recency bias on these answers, which isn't surprising.  The NFL is not the same as it was in 1985. 

Honest question, how good was Mike Quick?  I honestly did not start watching football until I maybe the late 80s, so don't know that I ever really saw Mike Quick play in his prime.  Not in any way that I was actually paying attention, at least.

If you put Mike Quick up against, say Alshon Jefferey statistically, they are pretty close.  Quick has the advantage vs. Alshon on average yards per reception and TDs, but other than that they are close.   

 

There's no instructions so I'll just pocket the $15

Very different receivers. Quick was, well, quick, smooth, and fast. Jeffrey was much bigger, by about 30 pounds, and more a power receiver. It's not an exact match but Quick is not unlike Smith and Jeffrey not unlike Brown.

Vick, Montgomery, Jackson, Owens, Celek

Westbrook

Hurts

Jeffrey

Fred Barnett

Hurts

Shady

Brown

Maclin

It’s ridiculous that Lewis cost more than Celek. Celek was the far superior athlete

Mike Quick was awesome until his knees gave out. His career was kinda short, but for about three or four years there, he was the best receiver not named Terrell Owens the team has had over the past fifty years. And yes, I’m including Harold Carmichael in that group. In my view, Quick was better than Harold. Harold was durable. Unfortunately Quick was not. So I could see someone taking the opposite view there.

There’s a chance that our two current stars will surpass him, but rest assured, a healthy Quick was legitimately great. 

He was a LOT better than Alshon. As in, it’s disrespectful to even make the comparison.

I was always under the assumption the special Olympics happened in the backstages and after hours of the real Olympics. It being it’s own independent event shows how little it’s covered

You thought the Special Olympics was a black market operation?

 

I'm pretty sure there is a Special Olympics every year. I raised money one year by doing the Polar Bear Plunge in Seaside Heights.

Vick by a hair over Hurts due to small sample size for Hurts

Watters by a nose over Montgomery with McCoy in the photo finish picture 

I want to say Carmichael but Brown is the choice

Owens, and it isn’t even close if you are talking his career

Goedert takes it over Jackson, but the late scratch of Ertz makes this a false start.

Quick was a smooth route runner, had great hands, and his top speed rivaled any receiver that has played for the team except Desean.  

Yeah Special Ilymocs are probably the one event where I wouldn't suspect any sort of throwing by the athletes for gambling purposes.  Probably the purest form of sports to gamble on.

How is the No answer winning this?  Embarrassing sports town sometimes. 

I’m a firm no on that trade.  Lillard’s age is massively problematic.  Love the player, but he is in the twilight of his career.

I mean Harrison Kent and Kent Analytics are 4 standard deviations away from the mean.  

Graduating summa **** laude from Harvard University, Harrison P. Kent IV combined his unique intellectual capabilities and his fascination with American football to create Kent Analytics - deemed “[the] most statistically precise sports analytics network ever seen.” Kent Analytics is most famous for the 2018 University of Michigan "Sports Analytics Precision Study,” in which Kent Analytics - correctly predicting the outcomes of sporting events at a ratio of nearly four standard deviations above the mean when compared to its peers - ranked far higher than any similar analytical network. 

Born in April of 1981 to Harrison P. Kent III and Beatrice Lucille Kent (née Williams), Harrison P. Kent IV spent his childhood at the esteemed, forty-five million dollar family estate in Greenwich, Connecticut. From his infancy, Kent exhibited supreme intellect for his age, first attracting attention from universities nationwide at age 9. Driven by his fear of attending a disreputable or public university, Kent continued furthering his knowledge in his youth by indulging in even the most archaic and sophisticated classics at the prestigious Kent family library. After winning the Connecticut Latin Bee at age 11, Kent began communicating with the deans at Harvard University, where his paternal lineage had studied for the past eight generations. Kent was accepted into Harvard at age 15, graduating summa **** laude in 2000 as a member of the Phi Beta Kappa society with a double major in Economics & Classics. https://kent-analytics.com/

The problem with analytics like he texted is the data is limited at this point.  And the available determinants really vary on a week by week basis.   Given that his 2018 study references events, it seems that he is using predictors that are specific for an individual event.  I would be curious what factors he ahas found reliably predictive and in which pairings.  Some clearly predictive factors are wildly difficult to forecast.  That’s one of the issues with this sort of modeling.  Let’s take turnovers.  Paired with certain players there may be a pattern. Paired with weather conditions, there might be a pattern. But weather conditions and player availability are especially hard to predict at this part of the NFL year.  In other words, at this point and time, I think his prediction is the stuff produced out of the anus of a bull.

Lillard just came off his best season.

 

This team is in win now mode with Embiid and Harden.
